PAKISTAN'S FORMER PM IMRAN KHAN APPEALS FOR BAIL
The Business Guardian
|September 17, 2023
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan F filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Saturday, seeking postarrest bail in the cipher case. This decision comes after the special court dedicated to cases filed under the Official Secrets Act rejected Imran Khan's earlier plea for the same relief.
Former Prime Minister petition was filed through lawyer Salman Safdar, and the State and Interior Ministry Secretary Yousuf Naseem Khokar have been made respondents in the case. In the petition, Imran Khan requests the court to grant him post-arrest bail until the final disposal of the cipher case "to meet the ends of justice."
The plea highlights that almost 200 criminal cases have been registered against Imran Khan, including charges of corruption, murder, sedition, mutiny, foreign funding, NAB (National Accountability Bureau) reference, and Toshakhana reference. It asserts that Imran Khan could not avail himself of the remedy under section 498 (power to direct admission to bail or reduction of bail) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and alleges that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) acted under the influence of the then interior ministry.
